Anybody recommend somewhere online to get a dips belt (to hang weights from)? Planet Max here in Canberra is only place I've checked, and the only one they stock is $59 (probs ok, but steep until I know what's average)

sounds reasonable

i'd be more interested to know where you can get chains like these

I found some chains here:

But you would be bankrupt (and amazingly strong) by the time you looked like your above post.

if you want chains just go to your local boat shop, or even a fishing shop. you can get some pretty decent size chains (anchor chain, they sell it by the metre and it's cheap), and they are usually glavanised so sweat shouldn't be an issue rusting them, LOL.

still not a bad investment considering you can use em for dips, curls etc

Ehh if you reckon that's reasonable then fair enough, tomorrow ill grab one ;)

here you go http://www.worldfitness.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=557 seems to be the running cost for em

hmmm hadn't thought of that...

i've checked out hardware stores only but they don't really have the right size/weight

you just need a weight belt and a short length of chain or rope... better than chains IMO as you can hang different size plates from it and be pretty specific about what weight your lifting... you also don't have to lug weight to and from the gym just a belt

then you can use the weight belt for squats/deads etc... if you just get a dip belt you can really only use it for dips/pull ups

So you reckon get a support belt or whatever they are (for heavy lifts) and then just hang a rope from that with the plates on it? hmm, double use I suppose.

I meant the exact type of thing someone linked in response to me - the belt with chain that you hang plates from anyway. It only has a single use though, doesn't provide support if I wanted to use it with deadlifts or something

Either way, I'm gonna rock on over to planet max today and see what I'll get

http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=weight+dip+belt&_sacat=See-All-Categories

$20-$30

But I'd be going with Nick's idea...don't see the point in having a different belt just for that when a normal belt with a chain will do the same thing

I just put them between my thighs and lock my ankles..

I always wanted a belt, but couldnt justify spending $x for one excercise. Now I do multiple excercises which could utilise a belt, but still couldnt justify.. lol.

arent u a clever boy! lol wish i thought of that before i brought my dips belt now... i got a leather one on ebay i do like it though and get alot of use..

how many of u guys actually use a weight belt for deadlifts and squats for your back our of curiosity? and how much weight would you want to be able to dead lift before using one do you think?

I can't claim the idea, there is a weight belt at my gym setup like that... I only use the belt for weighted dips/pull ups... I have never used a belt for squats/deads etc

no idea when you should look at using one... I'm still under 200% bodyweight on those lifts so not sure I need to use one yet... and I don't do 1rm

I went to the gym at lunch today, gym is too packed after work... think I'm going to make lunch sessions a regular thing... I can't get up early enough to go before work lol

    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

    • sensible choice....and all 32s should be in yellow
    • Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
